Flash Memory Summit: Seagate Enhanced Nytro SSD Portfolio, and Record 64TB NVMe Add-In Card Demo

Nytro 5000 NVMe M.2 and 3000 SAS with performance, capacity and scalability for enterprise data center

Seagate Technology plc announced at the Flash Memory Summit enhanced versions of two flash technologies to boost performance and capacity for mixed data center workloads.

Nytro 5000 M.2

The updated SSDs – including the Nytro 5000 M.2 NVMe SSD and the Nytro 3000 SAS SSD – address different segments of the cloud and data center markets and help organizations maximize the value of their data. Anticipating the needs of a range of hyperscale data centers and cloud providers in the future, the company also has highlight a 64TB NVMe add-in card reading 13GB/s – a fast and high capacity SSDd.

As next-generation versions of the
Nytro XM1440 M.2 NVMe SSD and the 1200.2 SAS SSD, respectively, the Nytro 5000 NVMe M.2 SSD and Nytro 3000 SAS SSD offer new levels of performance and scalability.

The Nytro 5000 NVMe M.2 SSD is a cost-effective, lower-power technology for the demands of today’s data center environments with 2TB of capacity. It also boosts random write performance levels at 67,000 IO/s – double the performance levels of the previous version. The SSD’s features match the growing needs of demanding enterprise applications like data mining, weather modeling and online transaction processing, where fast data access and processing power are paramount to an organization’s success. The SSD also comes with configurable overprovisioning, providing additional layers of flexibility so organizations can adjust the drive’s endurance and capacity properties based on their storage needs – all in a small footprint to allow data centers to accommodate exponential data growth.

For data center environments where data availability and capacity are critical to operations, such as content streaming services and software-defined storage (SDS) configurations, the Nytro 3000 SAS SSD offers enhanced capacity and performance features, and a dual-port SAS interface to maintain data integrity in the event of an unexpected communication channel loss. The drive provides up to 15TB of capacity, more than four times the capacity of the previous version. It also offers up to 2,200MB/s in sequential read performance through a 12Gb SAS dual or wide port interface, helping prevent storage bottlenecks and ensuring high data reliability, availability and scalability. Organizations can choose from multiple configurations, endurance, and security options to fit their application needs, and avoid having to compromise on functions and features or pay for more than necessary.

1200.2 SAS SSD

Seagate is investing heavily in their already broad range of NVMe and SAS enterprise products aimed directly at the data center, cloud, and hyperscale storage markets,” said George Crump, lead analyst, Storage Switzerland LLC. “With some product specifications increasing by as much as five times over the last generation, these products are ideally aligned to meet the ever expanding requirements of this market.

Reflecting the continuous growth of data and the need for organizations to incorporate technologies that address capacity and performance needs, the company also demonstrated a 64TB NVMe AIC that includes performance of up to 13GB/s in a single PCIe NVMe add-in-card with full power fail protection. The technology takes advantage of the  M.2 form factor to combine multiple SSD controllers into a single PCIe card. As a result, servers benefit from eight high-performance controllers managing the SSD’s flash capacity through the one PCIe socket. Customer samples of the technology are anticipated in the first half of 2018.

The Nytro 5000 NVMe M.2 SSD and Nytro 3000 SAS SSD will be available later this year using leading 3D NAND flash technology.

Large-capacity SSDs are in high demand in hyperscale computing, a market that is growing faster than any other sector,” said Jim Handy, general director, research, Objective Analysis. “Seagate’s new SSDs, with their high-performance interfaces and high capacities, should find ready acceptance in this market and other data center applications.
